Publicación Acceso abierto Tecnologías de tratamiento para la tierra Fuller contaminada con aceite dieléctrico(2013-10-22) Berrío-Giraldo, L. I. (Linda Ivette); Agudelo, E. A. (Édison Alexánder); Cardona-Gallo, S. A. (Santiago Alonso)In recent years, Colombia has been implementing agreements and regulations for the proper handling and final disposal of hazardous waste, because the amount generated each time is increasing and the adverse impact that these residues in human health and environment.
